Observations of three varied corners of Chinaโs garment industry: workers in a large-scale production line factory; a designer who rallies against the mass-machine-production of clothes and has created the eponymous hand-made collection called โUselessโ (Wuyong) for Paris Fashion Week; and finally the simple life of increasingly out-of-work tailors in small town Fengdang.
Directed by Jia Zhangke
Produced by: Mao Jihong, Chow Keung, Nelson Yu Lik-wai
